Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders Provide Maximum Bird Seed Protection

Every backyard bird watcher knows the havoc a pack of seed hungry squirrels can impose on your feathered friend’s domain. At Bird Feeders Etc we recommend keeping any hanging open feeder eight to ten feet from the nearest perch a squirrel can jump from, especially higher tree branches. Squirrel proof bird feeders are some of the most satisfying and entertaining bird feeders manufactured. Our Selective Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder by Duncraft is one of our best squirrel bird feeders.

Squirrel proof feeders can be as simple as a pole skirt or a squirrel guard dome making tasty bird seed seem miles away even though it is ‘sooo close’. Domed or caged shelter bird feeders perplex even the seemingly smartest of the squirrel species. After a nibble of spilled seed at the ground your typical four legged friend will crawl over the cage for many minutes. Interestingly, due to their unyielding belief in their intellectual capacity or sheer determination the same squirrel will try over and over.
